Teen stabbed in Palmdale, collapses near school

PALMDALE, Calif. 
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies say a teenager was stabbed in an apparent gang-related confrontation, ran three blocks and collapsed in front of R. Rex Perris High School in Palmdale.

Deputy Daryl Bonsall says the victim was taken to a hospital and underwent immediate surgery after Monday's 11:20 a.m. stabbing.

He didn't know how serious the stab wounds were.

Bonsall says the 17-year-old victim is believed to be a student at the school.

Deputies are looking for two men in their 20s.

Other than being gang-related, Bonsall didn't know what the argument between the men was about.

Bonsall says the school didn't have to be locked down because the victim ran toward the school and his attackers ran in the other direction.
